This ChoicePup addon PET allows you to arrange your SFS files in directories and load each directories' sfs files all at once.

For example,

Create a directory named SFS and then create subdirectories according to whatever logical grouping for categories of interest or tasks.

Internet
Documents
Art
Music
etc..

In each sub-directory put whatever SFS files you would like to load for each category.

SFSdirloader will present a directory selector which will allow an SFS directory to be picked and every SFS file in that directory will be loaded at once.

It comes with an icon under Menu/Utility

Note: Since individual SFS files can be loaded by right-clicking in ROX, the SFSdirloader isn't set up to load individual SFS files.

EDIT: 12-20-2011 UPDATE

SFSdirload-standalone-0.3.

The prior SFSdirload was made to work with Choicepup. This version should work on any puppy as it sym-links all SFS files in a directory and cleans up during shutdown (thanks to some nice crisp code from Technosaurus).

If you check the box, the selected sfs directory will be placed in the Startup directory and loaded at boot.

You can also load an sfs directory from the command line e.g."SFSdirload /my/sfs/dir". Also, if you want to unmount and cleanup before shutdown, at any time run "SFSdirload stop"

I've tested this on Pup431 and Wary522 and have not run into any problems so far. However, do not run a Devx sfs because the linking will not work properly.

Is this sfsdirloader of the type load/unload on the fly.
In other words, no need to reboot the PC?_________________Time savers:
Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu).

Use peppyy's puppysearch

Also if I understand well, you can have different environments (directories with some sfs files).
But if you need a sfs in more then one environment it has to be duplicated in the corresponding directory for that environment.
Thus occupying extra space._________________Time savers:

Used to use in 4 and later 5 series. Suddenly not working anymore asking useable 5 series.

Muggins said working fine in 5.

Started again, worked. You have to make categories corresponding with menu entry. You can store them -any- place.

Yes .sfs seem to be unloaded upon reboot - however the menu entries for the .sfs still remain for me.

I made an update to use Yad for the GUI and the last directory loaded is remembered and starts at that directory the next time SFSdirloader is run - i also added a fixmenus script to Startup to take care of redundant menu entries when the .sfs are unloaded (this maybe not needed on the puppy you are running)

I think perhaps SFSdirloader is being used in places it was not designed for.

It was created as an addon to ChoicePup, not as a standalone program.

It mounts and links SFS files to the loop limit (much more than 6) but does not union the SFS files. This means that if SFSdirloader is used without ChoicePup, there is no cleanup and all the temporary symlinks are saved (not what one wants).

All of the "unloading" and cleanup is done by ChoicePup and not SFSdirloader.
